To all whom it may concern.: D Be it known that ll, DAvm PUDLIN, a amzen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough ci' theBronX, in the county of the Bronx and State of New York, have invented anew and llmproved Eye for Dolls, of which the follow- 111%` is a full, clear, and exact description.

his invention relates 'to eyes especially adapted for dolls, ,although they are not necessarily limited to this use. Y

The general objectsv of the presentinvention are to provide Aan unbreakable eye of novel, simple and inexpensive construction. and havlng a close resemblance to a natural eye. A

A morespecic object of the invention is.

the provision of an eye 'comprising a shell ofl celluloid or equivalent material which bears the iris and pupil and is filled withv plaster of Pariser equlvalent material, whereby the shell will maintain its spherical form and be rendered unbreakable, the shell being made "of two approximately hemispherical pieces of celluloid fitting one within the other, the 1 -lnner one being white and the other trans` p arent, and on the inner piece the iris and pupil are applied, as by photolthographing, or nyhother. suitable method.

features .of construction and arrangement of parts which `will beset forthI with particu arity in the following description and claims appended hereto.

lin the accompanying'- drawing, which illustrates one embodiment of the invention, and wherein similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views, Figure 1 is a side View of the eye; Fig. 2 is a front view; Fig. 3 is a vertical section; and Fig. 4 shows the two pieces of the shell before the same are nested together.

Referrin to the drawing, 1 designates the body o thev eye, which body is spherical,

and contained inthe shell 2, which carriesthe pupil 3 and iris 4a, and embedded in the body is an attaching device 5 of any approved character.

, `The shell 2 is approximately he ispherical and is hollow so that when fi led with plaster of Paris that forms the body 1, the` such objects in view, and yothers which will appear as thedescriptlonproceeds, the invention comprises varlous novel a may be made when desired as shell will be internally supported so that there is no danger of breakage or indenting.

To retain the shellin place open side thereof is provided'with scallops 6 which are bent inwardly, .and embedded 1n the soft plaster of Paris. By thus scalloping'the edge and contractingthe open side of the shell the said open side vwill be of smaller diameter than the maximum diameter of the filling or body l, whereby it is impossible for the shell to become detached. In making the shell the same is constructed of two parts 7 and 8, as shown in Fig. 4f, and thematerial is preferably Celluloid or the like. The inner part 8 is white Celluloid the edge of the so as to form' the-white part ofthe eyeball,

otherwise applied to the external surface of the part 8, and are visible through the transparent outer part 7 These two parts 7 and 8 are 4chemically united under 'pressure by any well known process, so that the shell becomes an integral structure.

An eyeball constructed as set forth is of comparatively simple and inexpensive construction and vis unbreakable under ordinarycircumstances.

From the foregoing description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, the advantages of` the construction vand method of operation will be readily understood by those skilled in the art to which the invention appertains, and while l have described the prlnciple of operation, together with the device which `ll now consider to be the best embodiment thereof, ll desire to have it understood .that the device shown is merely illustrativa and that such changes scope of the appended claims.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent: Y
